Many of the essential molecules for life on Earth can exist in two mirror-image forms, often called "left-handed" and "right-handed", where handedness refers to the direction in which polarized light skews when beamed through a pure solution of the molecule, but living organisms do not use both.

One-way mirrors for upper-level observation deck viewing down into a classroom (University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire) A one-way mirror, also called two-way mirror [1] (or one-way glass, half-silvered mirror, and semi-transparent mirror), is a reciprocal mirror that appears reflective from one side and transparent from the other. The perception of ...

Earth is the third planet from the Sun and the only astronomical object known to harbor life. [23] This is enabled by Earth being an ocean world, the only one in the Solar System sustaining liquid surface water. Almost all of Earth's water is contained in its global ocean, covering 70.8% of Earth's crust.
One-way mirrors One-way mirrors (also called two-way mirrors) work by overwhelming dim transmitted light with bright reflected light. [60] A true one-way mirror that actually allows light to be transmitted in one direction only without requiring external energy is not possible as it violates the second law of thermodynamics.
